The magic of the Old West comes alive in this timeless tale of love between women. When Kenny Smith (Kendra Nelson), the handsome stagecoach driver, saunters down the dusty main street of Jackson with spurs jangling, all the dance hall girls swoon. Little does Kenny dream that her life is about to take a detour. After Kenny is shot during a holdup, then framed, she is desperate to escape the pursing posse. It is Sophie McLaren, a young, cool-headed widow living in a line shack, who nurses Kenny back to health and hides her from the law. When danger lights the fires of passion between these two women, their fates become entwined. And as they dare to dream of a different life, they learn that love overcomes all obstacles.

From the Inside Flap
"You sure don't act like a virigin," Sophie said. "That's just it, I'm an actor," Kenny admitted with a touch of pride. "Had you convinced that I was a man, didn't I?" "Mm..." Sophie nodded. "And I wanted you then, too." "More than now?" "No." Sophie leaned back and looked down the length of Kenny's body. "Definitely not more than now." The words and the look were like a physicial touch on Kenny's hot skin...........

A Totally Delicious Read
This book is: well-written, well-plotted and well-paced, with realistic characters.

Its seldom one gets a treat like "And Love Came Calling" a lesbian western, which is also a love story.

The story revolves around two central female characters: Sophie McLaren, a recent widow who now has been forced since the death of her husband, to accept the begrudging charity of her domineering and dangerous brother-in-law, and Kendra "Kenny" Smith, a butch woman who has found it necessary to disguise herself as a man.

The story involves: a stagecoach hold-up, saloon girls with the proverbial hearts of gold, a fair & determined sheriff, outlaws, and a whole lot more.

This excellent novel has found a permanent home on my bookshelf, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys strong female characters and a historical setting like the old west--you won't be disappointed, that's for sure.

This book is great! It is the 1st womens' western I've seen!
This book has a fresh story line! You come away believing that this could actually have been a real account of women loving women in the Old West! This author is wonderful! She is right up there with Randye Lordon and Katherine Forrest! I can't wait for her next book!!! (are you listening Rising Tide?)
